I understand that the last 1957 Thunderbird was built on Dec. 13, 1957.
If I am reading this data plate correctly, I believe the build date is December 7th? If this is correct would it be Dec. '56 or Dec. '57?
With other Ford lines included in the sequential numbering, I'm not certain how to determine if my car was an earlier build or a very late build.
A quick search shows Dec. 1956 was a Friday and Dec. 1957 was a Saturday. Did the plants operate Saturdays?
Thanks, Greg

Re: Build Date?
Hey Greg, now I'm curious, what code would the cars built in Dec. '57 have?
Thanks again, (the other)Greg

Re: Build Date?
It would begin with Z followed by the day of the month.
